Abstract

The article is a reflection on Balibar's account of the concept of "Gewalt" in Marx, Engels and Marxism. The German term contains both the meanings of power and violence. At the center of the analysis is the structural link between the notion of "Gewalt" and the capitalist mode of production and state-form. The problem is whether "Gewalt" can be understood in relation to the actions of the working-class.
